What MMORPG should I play over the summer?
I have been kind of itching to play an MMORPG lately, and I play on and off over the summer for fun, usually don’t play as much whenever school starts.
Back in 2004 I played Star Wars Galaxies, my first MMORPG. It was fun, but I got bored with it after a while. During 2005 I played a lot of the free RPGs, you knoe, Kal Online, Rose Online, and Gunbound if you would consider it a MMORPG. Last Summer, 2006, I can’t remember really playing any. This Winter Break I played Free Style Street Basketball, but the game was very limited and I got tired of it.
So, it brings me to this Summer. I have dabbled in my old Runescape accound from 2002, but the game, on the whole, is kind of unsatisying and unfilling, kind of like a snack to the meal that was Star Wars Galaxies. Even if you’re a member, its kind of meh.
So, I’m willing to pay up to $15 a month, and I want it to be kinda new, so that theres not people trumping me that have played for years. Suggestions? I appreciate your time.
There are a bunch of free MMORPGs out there. First I’m going to tell you about the browser based MMORPGs, then I’ll mention somewhere you can see the downloadable.
To play games in flash, there are Dragon Fable and Adventure Quest (In both you have to pay to have full access to the game, and notice that Dragon Fable is still under construction and that it’s hard for non-members to login into AQ). There are also those community based flash games (that some people consider to be MMORPGs) that are becoming really popular: Gaia Online (that I already played and that is really cool), ClubPenguin, PuzzlePirates, and i think that Habbo goes the same way; in all of this games you create an avatar and play games like fishing to get money and personalize those avatars.
There’s also the pure browser based ones: Tibia is a fairly popular game, BiteFight and Knightfight are OK. Travian is a strategy MMOG, also pretty good. There’s also pokemon crater (but it has a lots of publicity) and, my personal favorite, FallenSword (it’s much like pokemoncrater, only that it doesn’t have lots of publicity, and has a guild system that stimulate interaction, not to mention the lottery and the auction system).
The downloadable… well, i think it’s harder to speak about them. I’ll also give you a link for the “List of free MMORPGs” on wikipedia, where you can see the downloadable games out there (in this list you can read about other browser based MMORPGs as well). Take a look at the websites and check the screenshots, maybe you’ll find some that interest you. My favorites are MapleStory, Anarchy Online, Monsters and Me, Trickster Online (really good, you should consider this), Flyff and Silk Road. Seems like Rappelz is also pretty good.
There are also some really good free downloadable MMORPGs coming out: Sword of the new world (a.k.a. Granado Espada, where you can control up to three characters at once – but you’ll have to pay so that you can get over a certain level) and the global version of Lunia (it’s still on closed beta, but will soon come to open beta late this month).
See you.
